Duh-Bowl Trouble in Port Angeles and Forks WA, September 19th and 20th 2009
We had a great weekend. I had obsessed about being the DJ for the contests for weeks and the music was a hit with the dads and older skaters. I overheard the hesh crowd complaining about not enought death metal, but smiled when Slayer cue'd up next in autopilot. Talk about old school death metal. Regardless. Katie and I got some great shots from both days...


Who is this old guy ripping the bowl at Forks? Katie overheard a kid say "wow he skates way better than my dad." I guess that the other Old Men skating looked more like the lifetime surfers and skate company owners that they were....


Sky Siljeg won the PA contest busting airs like this over the waterfall in the keyhole bowl.


local "Homebrew" homeboy Edwin Swaggerty took home the real loot by winning the Forks contest with ripping style, taking second in PA, and raking in the overall contest win.


Miki and his teamate conquering the baby bowl during PA doubles


Gabe "Mexi-fry" and his teamate were the hesh overlords of the day in PA.


This unnamed ripper may not have landed this huge kickflip exit but his board sure looks great in front of the LibTech sponsor sign in PA.


Griffin ruled the groms both days and he and his bud Greg gave Edwin a run for the money in the open finals Sunday in Forks. This little Inouye Pool Service Grom dislpayed old school style backside airs and alley oops in the Forks bowl.


Old Man Mike shows off his sick hand plant over the coping that he carefully and artistically tiled in Forks.


Miki said he was "too tired" from a big out in PA Saturday, but after being encircled and forced to compete on Sunday blasted this wicked frontside over the hip.

The family is way tired but certainly happy everything went so smoothly and we saw some epic duh-Bowl battles over the course of the weekend!
